Comments Thread For: Fury: IBF Belt is Piece of ****, I'd Win it Again and Then Piss On It!

Apart from corruption, and fragmentation through exclusivity, I used to think that failing to enforce mandatory's was the worst crime that a sanctioning body could commit.

But it's not, who fkn cares if you religiously enforce your mandatory, when your rankings are wakk!

That's the thing. I'd sort of respect the IBF's decision if their rankings weren't so obviously fraudulent and crappy. There's more than one way to be corrupt and the IBF are just a little less blatant about it.

It'd be hilarious if a long standing undisputed champ kept vacating & winning, vacating & winning a particular alphabet belt every couple years cuz he thought it was a bs belt I must admit. I'm pro-devaluing alphabet belts by any means necessary & that would certainly be one way to lower a belts value in many boxing fans minds.

I'm officially a Tyson Fury fan.

I side with you emphatically on this. The alphabet belts are a worthless clutch of relics that need to be blown away in a strong hot wind and replaced with something that actually has some meaning. A single unified belt, or something else entirely. Fury's in a perfect position to totally undermine the whole structure, and from where I'm standing that can only be a good thing. He needs to shake up the temple and overturn the old idols.

Stripping Tyson after a week for beating Vlad was not the way to go about things, they could have at least negotiated for it to be his first defense after the rematch. Its obvious they wanted a different champion so they didn't have to wait in turn for sanctioning fees.
Compared to the WBA the IBF look like choir boys, i cant see Tyson abiding by any of the belts mandatory's for long, and expect him to give up more belts in the future .

The IBF is a joke belt.

Kell Brook is further evidence of this.

The IBF is in the right hands now, it rest safely in the hands of an American.

I'm of the belief that alphabet titles are the absolute worst thing that has ever happened to boxing. They make the sport unnecessarily complicated. Each has their own set of rules which they go by and their own separate rankings. One single governing belt at the world level is all you need. Keep your regional, state, and national titles, with one belt at the world level and you're good.
